By using a tracing technique, draw the
images to the best of our ability by applying
different tones, textures, and shadows to
create depth.
The concept of this assignment was to apply different tones and
shadows to create depth. By applying this technique, the value of
texture and contrast brings the drawing to life through the use of
lines to create depth and dimension.

This assignment assisted me a great deal with how each element
is perceived by the untrained eye. By sketching and using this
technique you see so much more by studying where the light falls
exactly in the right place to highlight key elements of a design,
sometimes better than a photograph.

Images of previous sketches were given to all the students
with the instruction to trace, with proper line work and
incorporate the following:
The concept of this assignment was to study the use of
presentation techniques to set a precedent for future presentation
drawings completed with a design.
Presentation in architecture is a fundamental skill to master. By
combining all the techniques a presentation drawing requires, a
presentation is brought to life.

This assignment showed me how only a few elements are required
to take a presentation drawing to a whole new level when each
element is incorporated correctly.

This project was to design a sculpture-like kiosk to be
erected at a park where sports events would be held.
Your structure should be non-invasive and enjoyable for
people to enjoy.
My design inspiration came from a white seashell. From a distance, it blends in
with the environment, but the more you look at it, the more you see how unique
it is in its own merit. Aesthetically pleasing but not intrusive to the environment.
C O N C E P T O F A S S I G N M E N T
This assignment encouraged me to think about where people would like to sit
and enjoy a sports event or the park on a sunny summer’s day while creating an
interesting sculpture-like space to catch the interest of the spectators.

The current building in the Austin Roberts bird sanctuary is to be
demolished or renovated. The new proposed spaces need to include a
restaurant, coffee shop and a library for Ornithology that includes a
bookshop. The purpose of the building upgrades is to enhance the spirit of
the place and to receive more visitors.
The concept for this design was to include the natural colours of the
environment to maintain a balance and natural look and feel of the area.

This assignment for me was to create an inviting space by connecting the water with the building,
by wrapping an accessibility deck around the building and using materials that fit into the

In the De Waterkant area, a house is to be
designed by an architect. At the request of the
client, the house should function as a living
space for him and his family, and a frequent
workspace.
My concept for this design was to find a
balance between where modern living meets
confined spaces.
C O N C E P T O F A S S I G N M E N T
This assignment encouraged me to think outside the box,
as this was a small site to accommodate the client and his
family with all the requirements to be met without the
space feeling cramped.

A new indoor sports hall is to be designed at the Tshwane University of Technology for
student use. The concept for this design was to incorporate the functionality and use
of the space with the social element of gatherings without disturbing an event that
might be taking place.
This assignment challenged me to think about the use of a huge space without making
it feel like a waste. The use of a long-span steel structure, bricks and concrete showed
me what is possible in minimalist design.

A student hotel is to be designed for the students at the Tshwane University of Technology and their
guests. All facilities students might need for day-to-day use need to be included.
The concept for this design was to design a home away from home, taking into consideration, all the
needs a student would have for a functional living while maintaining focus on studies while aspiring to
a future of greatness.
This assignment challenged me to think about what a student
requires every day to live a healthy balanced life by incorporating
easy access to all facilities, security, and minimalist modern design.

This project was a bit different from the norm. A set of presentation drawings of
a published building in a popular magazine was issued to me, to produce a set of
drawings to solve the construction behind the design.
This project helped me not only look at the beauty of the design, but to
understand the method of construction, and how problems were overcome by
innovative design solutions.

The Kisumu market regeneration project is the upgrading of the
existing informal traders' market in Kisumu, Kenya. The initial scope of
work was to only provide a new trading platform for local traders but
the project developed into a more complex entity that includes formal
retail, the relocation of the existing Kisumu hospital, a new transport
hub and low to medium-income residential opportunities.
Local operators would also have the opportunity to run and self-
manage restaurants and shops while living on the premises.
We eventually proposed a pedestrian link between the different typologies that resulted
in the current status referred to as the Kisumu "Jubilee Bridge" development.

Vheneka Estate is a new residential estate in Glendale, Zimbabwe. Due
to the shortfall of good-quality homes in Zimbabwe, and the return of
ex-pats to the country after the demise of Robert Mugabe, there is a
massive demand for housing. The first phase of this development
consists of a large residential component of low and high-density units
as well as the first phase of a commercial centre that includes retail, a
filling station, drive-through restaurants and a truck stop.
Additional uses such as a church, primary and secondary schools, a
creche and sports facilities are also included.

The Springvale Primary School required additional classrooms to be designed and constructed. I gained
extensive knowledge of the requirements for buildings that occupy children.
Various safety issues needed to be considered in the design such as:
1 0 p r a c t i c e w o r k
fire requirements such as firewalls between classrooms and fire
extinguishers in every classroom.
bottom hung windows are required for the safety of students walking past
open windows.
the durability of finishes specified such as heavy-duty tiles

The clients required a house for their retirement that has enough space for
their family to come visit during holidays. They required the house to have a
view of the ocean from as many points in the house as possible. The design
was an exciting challenge as the HOA only allows for one floor. But because
of the site's steep slope we were able to add extra sqm in the form of a lower
ground floor on the lowest point of the site.

The clients concist of a family of four who are looking to build their future home.
It was a challenge to work with these clients because they had a very specific
idea for their dream home that escalated as we developed the design, however
their budget remained the same.
Under these circumstances I had to learn quickly how to design in a cost
effective way, while still delivering a well designed, functional, aesthetically
pleasing end product.
